It was running fine for about 15 minutes. I turned it off for a couple minutes and when I turned it on it made a noise and then... nothing. I have let it cool down for a while but it is still not turning on.

Answers :

Hello,

if it does not turn on, then it means its having a power problem. it might have worked fine in the past, but that's electronics for you. Power surge, irregular power supply, excess power supply, etc can affect the unit thereby not making it to power on.

This unit must have a power supply board in it where power enters from the mains. A capacitor, fuse, diode, etc may have been defective on the power board and maybe that's why its not making the unit turn on. There might also be some disconnection or something, inside the unit which is not making it to power on.

To actually find out what's wrong, you need to disassemble the unit with a screw driver and check what's wrong. You will be needing a meter in order to test the components on the power board, once you detect any bad component, you can make necessary replacement at any electronics accessories store withing our vicinity. This is the only way by which you can detect the problem.

Of course, testing the power board with a meter will require someone that has the ability. So it you can't, then you might be needing the help of a repairman or you can call a friend that has the ability to help you out.

Vaccum overheating I have a hoover u5458-900 wind tunnel and the auto shot off has kicked in for overheat protection. i've cleaned the entire thing and let it sit like i was supposed to but it still won't fully turn on and stay on. it will turn on for a few minutes and then shut off and just cycle like that for a few times. is there anything i can do to fix this or should i just clean it more (if possible)?

Either the motor protector is bad, or you have a clog in the hose or the dirt inlet by the brush roll. Are the filters clean? It is also possible that there is a problem with the motor. ...

Our kenmore progressive model #11634922 was working fine today. And then - it's not. Plugged in - nothing is working on it. We let it cool down (though it didn't seem hot). Still nothing - no light, no motor. Tried it in some other plugs that we know are functioning well - and still nothing. Any idea what might be wrong with it? It's six years old but doesn't get heavy use.
Thanks so much ~ Susan Golden

Hi, it could be a number of things, cord may be bad as well as a problem with the motor. There also is a fuse that could have blown. If you go to sears.com, click on parts, put in your model number, when the page loads, click on the first link ...

I have a Eureka Power Plus vacuum, model 4702, type A. To start off, it never really had great suction. Marginal at best. Then today I was vacuuming and smelled something burning and turned off the vacuum. At that point, smoke started pouring out from the bottom of the vacuum so I layed it on it's side and the smoke cleared but I never found the source. Is it safe to turn on again after I let it cool down or is my vacuum "shot?"

My brand-new Hoover Windtunnel T-Series Pet Rewind Bagless vac simply shut off while I was using it and now I can't get it to turn back on. I've emptied the dirt collection bin and let the unit sit unplugged for 30 minutes to reset the Thermal Protector as per the manual. I've even tried a few different outlets just in case a fuse got tripped, but the vac still won't turn on. What happened? Do I need to return this vac to the store? I just bought it 5 hours ago.

My Pasquini Livia 90 S/E will not stop heating water. This builds up too much pressure. I have unplugged the machine and let it cool off and turned it back on and got the same result. I can relieve the pressure by opening the steam valve, but since the heating element does not turn off it builds up too much pressure very quickly

My Eureka Enviro Steamer won't make steam. It is only my second time to use it. It came on for about 5 minutes, then the steam stopped. The green light stayed on. I turned it off and let it cool down, added more water, then turned it on again. It didn't do anything--not even warm up.

Brush turning slowly while shampooing.
It starts out fast, but after a minute or 2 the brush is not spinning very fast.
I have powered it off and let it cool down. I just started out so I can't believe the engine is over heating, just doing 2 rooms, can't even get through the first room.
If I take the brush attachment off, then put it back on and then turn it on, it spins fast, but after a a few minutes, it's spinning softly/slowly again.

I had plugged it in to use it, turned it on and instantly it made a pop sound, smelled of electrical, and would not turn on after. i even waited for a while let the smell go away and tried a different plug in the house and still no operation of any kind. Is there an internal fuse that i could check on this? where is it located?

Sorry there is no fuse in the vacuum. It sounds like there is a short somewhere when they manufactured it. There is no way to fix yourself you will need to take to a repair shop\015\012\015\012Good luck ...

Won't work My Eureka Mighty Mite 3670 Bagged, was working fine, and we unplugged it to switch to another outlet in another room and it just stopped. We tried several other outlets and it just won't turn on. We thought maybe it got hot because we had been using it for a while and we let it rest for a while and then changed the bag just to be sure, although it was not full. But it still will not turn on. Any ideas?

My Infinity nv29 vacuum stopped working suddenly while vacuuming. I followed the directions in the manual and unplugged it and let it sit for over an hour and then tried plugging it in and turning it on. It still will not turn on. Any suggestions?

I sucked up a sock and there was a burning smell. I immediately turned off the power, the sock was wrapped around the roller, got it off and let the vacuum cool. Now it no longer powers on. Is it dead or fixable??

The smelling could be the belt. Unplug the unit and turn it over, see if you can see the belt. Turn the roller to see if there is any wear on the belt. If the belt looks good, that is not good. If it does not turn on, there is no fuse or breaker ...

I purchased it last year. Yesterday I took it apart to clean as per instructions. I feel that I may not have place the round housing (which is secured with 4 screws) back correctly. When I turned the machine on it made a whirring sound. I took the unit apart again and rotated that round piece moving the opening away from the opening on the tower. The whirring sound was reduced but there was still a sou

Hoover S3765 I have a Hoover S3765 (serial # 040600024465) and the unit stops working for no apparent reason. The light on top of the unit goes off when it shuts down, so I don't believe it's a problem between the hose, the tube and the floor unit. Sometimes I have to let it sit for over one hour before it will come back on. I've tried different electrical plugs too. Still won't turn on. Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks

If you light and nozzle motor both go off at the same time, you might have a bad power cord. Mine had this problem which I could verify by jiggling/twisting the cord near the strain relief on the nozzle. It would go on and off as I did this. ...

Eureka 11 pound bagless vacuum overheats when used for an extended period. Have to turn it off and let it cool down then use again.

The pump motor in my Bissel Proheat 2x Plus seems to have failed. It was seized so I sprayed WD-40 in it and let it sit for 3 days. Now I can turn it by hand, but when plugged into the unit it still doesn't spin. Here's a picture: http://bbay.dreamhost.com/bissel_proheat_2x_plus/P1070021.JPG I wanted to take the motor out and hook it into another power source to see if I can get it going but it has 3 wires. I'm used to only 2 (+ and -). How can I hook the motor up to another power source,

Let's try this again. The main vacuum and hose works fine, the "foot" does not. When I turn it on, it shuts off automatically and the light comes on telling me to "check brushroll". I did this and removed all hair, strings, etc., Still won't work. Please respond. The last post took over 30 minutes with no response.

Sounds like you have hair or carpet buildup in the roller and it is not freely rotating and you are getting an error. If there is no buildup, then roller bearings may be frozen up, or the unit has a faulty capacitor and is not going to work due to el ...

Won't start. My son was using the vacuum & Didn't change the bag. The vacuum was making the full bag smell, but the light was't on & it didn't stop. I stopped him, changed the bag, checked the filter, closed the compartments & turned on the vacuum. Nothing happened. I checked to be sure that it was plugged in, that wasn't the problem. I've let the vacuum "rest" for several days, It still won't start. Any suggestions?

My Hoover Pet Cyclonic upright stopped working while I was using it. The bottom felt really hot so I emptied the canister & laid the vacuum down with the bottom in the air to cool off & went back in an hour or so, I even tried a different plug in but it still won't turn back on. I don't know what else to try.

Silvermoon overheated and shut down. we've waited for it to cool down. When attempting to start the sweeper the red caution light (red triangle with exclamation mark comes on) but sweeper does not turn on. There are no obstructions in the hose or sweeper bag. There is a reset button. I pushed that but still no luck. Is there a fuse or something that needs to be replaced?
